1. Bornstein’s goal against Costa Rica will be mentioned a total of seven times. The highlights will be shown in both the pre-game and half time specials.
2. Conor Casey will score a goal, making it even more likely that he’ll make our World Cup roster. Ugh.
3. The central defense will look pretty strong considering this is our “B-Team”. Unfortunately, Honduras will steal a goal off a giveaway by one of our outside backs.
4. Kyle Beckerman will solidify his place in our upcoming list, “The Greatest Hair in US Soccer History.” Unfortunately, he’ll be edged out of the top three by Tony Meola.
5. The US walk away from this match with a 2-1 victory. It will be far from inspiring, but several players (Benny Feilhaber, Jimmy Conrad, Chad Marshall, and Robbie Rogers) will see their stock rise. Beckerman and Kljestan will look pretty bad, but people will want to keep them in the World Cup conversation.
You people do not know what soccer is… HONDUAS WILL WIN TH WORLD CUP and today your little soccer nation will be defeated by a real soccer team! HONDURAS
Considering you were a last-minute Jonathan Bornstein goal away from missing the World Cup, you should probably be a little more grateful and respectful. You might be right, though–we’ve beaten you guys 9 times in a row and you haven’t taken points off us since 2001…you’re probably overdue.
